Infertility challenges: unexplained infertility. I'm 35, we tried for 1 1/2 years without luck, and nothing seems to be wrong with me or DH.

Tried two rounds of clomid and ovidrel with IUI. Although I ovulated, no luck.

Just tried one round of injectables (Gonal-F), ovidrel, and IUI (intrauterine insemination) (on two days, back-to-back)...and success! On the first round of injectables! I know I'm only 5 weeks and it's so early that anything could happen, but I'm still super-happy :)

My only IUI (intrauterine insemination) advice: my husband was not terribly thrilled about the whole IUI (intrauterine insemination) thing. Don't get me wrong, he was a good sport about it, but it kind of turns DH (dear husband) into a "provider of male ingredients" more than timed intercourse does. So I suggest doing your part to try to make it more fun for DH (dear husband) if possible :) Collecting our sample at home, before we went to the office, made this a LOT easier...

i started off wth clomid(50,100,150,200) ...it dint work.. and then my gynaec reffered me to RE (reproductive endocrinologist) and they started the injectables ....first month they gave me small dosage of GONAL F (injections) but my follies dint come to the right size of 20mm ...they will try only for 28 days and again they will star the next cycle wth injectables.so the 2nd time they gave another injection called follistim wth a bit high dosage and on the 6th day my 4 follies came to the rite size,gave me the ovidrel shot that helps in releasing the eggs and did the iui in 36 hrs and yessssssss am nw 9 weeks pregnant....i had my 2nd US and my baby is doing fine and tears just roll out in happiness when i saw its heart beating.....what more to say....just be focused and do every possible thing u can

We have MF and 1 blocked tube!! In 2005, We did clomid no luck!!! Then we moved over to Gonal-F, Hcg and IUI! 1st cycle BFN (big fat negative (pregnancy test)) no surprise it was on the blocked side!! 2nd round IUI (intrauterine insemination) 7 follicles and a BFP!!! We have a healthy and happy 3 year old boy now!!! We are now trying for our 2nd but because of my numbers from last time the RE decreased the amount of drugs I was on so BFN (big fat negative (pregnancy test)) for 2 IUI (intrauterine insemination) and we are now waiting on approval for IVF (in vitro fertilization) w/ ICSI!!

About our Miracle!!! I had picked out my sons name in HS Senior year when my great-grandfather died ( I wanted to name my 1st son after him) Well our little miracle was due on my great grandfathers birthday!!! And it was a boy!!! And then Our miracle decided to start getting ready to get out days before My due date but I swore he was going to be born on his due date!!! And after spending days back and forth from the hospital and all day tuesday (from 6am) in the Hospital!! Nicholas Francis was born on his due date Wed. 3/22/06 at 1:56 am!! So now he shares his birthday with His Great great grandfather!!! It was definately ment to be and he was a MIRACLE!!!! Good Luck Everyone!!!!!

When did you get pg from IUI? AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) July 16- IUI (intrauterine insemination) was early that cycle- July 25.

How many IUI (intrauterine insemination) cycles did it take? this was my 3rd IUI (intrauterine insemination)

Just clomid or femara, or Injectables? this was my first month on injectables- Follistim. Also did a trigger shot and then a booster shot after OV.

What were your infertility challenges (ie., no ovulation, MFI, etc..)- had 2 MC's over the past 1.8 months. The first MC (miscarriage) they declared unexplained MC (miscarriage) and missed MC- I had to use cylotec for that baby- never had HB. 2nd MC (miscarriage) they did a D&C and said it was a chromosomal issue a mised MC. They said they found no reasons for thsi to happen.

I just came from our 2nd IUI! And it coudn't have gone better! Hubby had his best count yet, lots of "gold medal" swimmers! And somehow, our numbers increased after the wash???? Not sure about that, either way lots were ready and over 72% motility post wash! Then, I didn't realize, I had 4 not 3 follies! Holy Crap.....thought hubby was going to pass out when they said 4, "Quads???" That would seriously be insane, I'd have to buy a schoolbus!

Now for the 2ww. Hopefully it will be my turn to be a IUI (intrauterine insemination) success story!

Yay Brianne that sounds terrific! and you are hilarious with your schoolbus and "gold medal" swimmers, I read your post to my husband (which I don't normally do) it was so cute...!

Good for you and GOOD LUCK to you guys!

I go for my 10 day ultrasound Monday thinking I will be having my IUI (intrauterine insemination) next Sunday or Monday.... just finished my Femara, and hubs is going for his 3rd SA Weds... Hoping for some great counts in anticipation of the "sample" that really matters!

Keep us posted and Congrats....!

ooooh I want a baby so bad and your post made me so excited bc everything sounds so positive! thanks for the inspiration!!!!

My pleasure for the humor earlier! It just kinda comes to me!!!! I guess I'm sick of being so down lately about all of this, gotta find some humor! But I truly think that things are going to work this time. Perhaps twins!! Friend's of ours little boy told his mom out of the blue the other day that Keith, my hubby has a baby in his belly!!! She said don't you mean Brianne will have a baby?? No, Keith. I said it's from his beer belly! And he said 2 babies! I've heard kids have some weird sixth sence! Hopefully he's right.

Good luck with your u/s. As annoying as they can be, they're worth it!!! Here's to lots of BFP's!!!!

My husband and I tried for almost 6 years to have our first child and finally succeed in August 2007 and we are now beginning the process again to try of a second child. We originally tried for almost 6 years before the IUI (intrauterine insemination) was recommended. We have a list of problems that have made it difficult for us to conceive, but due to our age (we were 19 & 24) when we began seeking help they tried everything under the sun before referring us to a fertility clinic. I have endometriosis and had to have surgery before we could do the procedure. I also have PCOS. My husband has low count, low motility and increase # of abnormal form. I took Metformin for about 3yrs before the first IUI (intrauterine insemination) was done. I also took 100mg of Clomid and had an HCG injection with both procedures. The first one was a failed attempt, but the second one was a success. I cannot tell you the overwhelming joy we felt after we saw "pregnant" on the test after seeing so many not pregnants before. I am getting a little anxious with doing this all over again, but I am ready and so thankful for my little girl that regardless of the outcome I still know I am very blessed. I did have a c-section with my first child so I don't know if that is going to make it more difficult for the IUI (intrauterine insemination) to work and also since it has been 2 yrs I am concerned that my husbands count has decreased even more. I know that what is meant to happen will happen and I am just looking forward to the possibility of having another beautiful baby to add to our family. Good luck to everyone who is taking this journey. It can be a long stressful journey, but in the end it will have been worth it.
